Student News: Elizabeth Berkowitz awarded Paul Mellon Research Grant

Congrats to Berkowitz, whose  dissertation, “Bloomsbury’s Byzantium and the Writing of Modern Art,” explores the role of Byzantine art played in the genesis of Modernist formalism–from shaping Roger Fry and Clive Bell’s aesthetic theories to the integration of non-Western art with the European canon. The grant will allow Elizabeth to travel to England and access archives related to Fry, Bell, and other Bloomsbury members at King’s College, Cambridge and the Tate Archives at the Tate Britain.
